if america is going to learn anything from this tragedy, we need to understand how it happened, why it happened. for more on this i'm joined by dave cullen, author of "columbine." dave, it's good to see you. after columbine people thought they had it figured out. i was there. so much was reported in the early hours and days that turned out not to be true. we're starting to see some of that here, for example. early on, we were told the mother of the shooter was a teacher, now they're saying she had no affiliation with the school whatsoever. this doesn't surprise you, i take it? >> no, it doesn't. after columbine, i guess it was about two and a half days after, we had the whole thing figured out. everybody in the country knew why it happened. it was two loaner out cast goths from the trench coat mafia who went on a revenge rampage to get revenge on behalf of the trench coat mafia. and everybody understood that the media was everywhere. it was on the front page of the "new york times," everything else, without questioning it. unfortunately most people still believe that today, even though
